last week we were getting out of the car and i hear "you dirty a**." i thought for sure i was hearing things.
then i heard "no, you're a dirty a**."
WHAT?!!!!
did i mention we were at school? and a parent was walking by?! oh. my. goodness.
i wanted to know where they heard that, who they heard it from, and why they were saying it. i demanded information.
turns out one of my kids made it up. seriously. i've always wondered how "bad words" come to be. i guess they just do. maybe nine year olds all over the world are coming up with made up phrases thinking they are funny and grown ups all over the world are gasping in horror calling these unknown words "bad."
i have no idea.
after the fact i thought it was a little funny. when it was happening, not so much.
what would you have done in my situation?
